Care Questions
How do I take care of my jewelry?
-Diamond Jewelry Care Tips
Taking proper care of your diamond is the best way to ensure that it stays beautiful and valuable for a lifetime. It is important to regularly clean your diamond to remove the unwanted build up caused by everyday activities, frequently used chemicals and beauty products. Using a gentle detergent and soft toothbrush is an affordable and effective way to keep your diamond jewelry clean. It is also wise to periodically bring your diamond to a professional to have it cleaned and checked to make sure that the setting remains secure. Click here to view our Diamond Jewelry collection.

-Pearl Jewelry Care Tips

To maintain the beauty and luster of your pearls, it is important to understand that pearls are soft and very sensitive to their environment. Perfume, hair-spray, body lotion, perspiration and make-up attack the pearl's luster and color.

•  Apply perfume, hairspray and make-up prior to pearls; allow your skin to absorb
   before putting on a necklace or bracelet.

•  After wearing, gently wipe pearls with a soft cloth.

•  Consider storing your treasured pearls in a soft cloth or lined jewelry box to prevent
   scratching.

-Gold Jewelry Care Tips
At Sea of Diamonds, we recommend storing your gold jewelry in cloth bags or lined boxes to prevent surface damage. Be cautious of harsh chemicals like household bleach or pool chlorine. If you find that your gold jewelry needs cleaning, carefully scrub it with a soft toothbrush using a gentle soap. It is also wise to periodically bring your fine gold jewelry to a professional to have it cleaned and polished. Click here to view our Gold Jewelry collection.

-Platinum Jewelry Care Tips
Platinum's durability and natural beauty is timeless. This precious metal will not tarnish. Any scratches or surface markings can be easily polished out.

Payment Questions 
Which payment methods are available to me?

For your convenience we accept following payment methods:

PayPal:We only ship to CONFIRMED addresses. If you do not have a PayPal account, you will be prompted to open an account once you click on Checkout with PayPal.

Credit Cards: We currently accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

Debit Cards: We accept debit cards which carry the Visa or MasterCard logo. A debit card is used similar to a credit card, but debits funds directly from your bank account. The main difference is that banks usually institute a daily charge limit on debit cards. If your order total is greater than the daily charge limit, we will notify you immediately. At this point you may wish to contact your bank and request a one time waiver to the daily charge limit, or use Bank Transfer (see below) and receive a 2% discount.

Bank Transfer: Wire money directly from your savings or checking account to complete your order and receive a 2% discount. When you select this option, we will e-mail you simple instructions on how to wire the funds from your bank account. Please note it might take a few days for your bank to send the funds. To send payment by bank transfer, contact customer service via e-mail or call 1-888-SEA-8818 for instructions.


Is it safe to use my credit card?

The security of your information and transactions is our top priority. We automatically encrypt your information in transit from your computer to our computers. Transactions on the site are protected with up to 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. Once your information reaches us, it resides on a secured server. Our servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the internet, so your private information is available only to authorized computers.


When will my credit card be charged?
Your credit card will be charged at time of shipment. If an item is on back order, you will not be charged until the back ordered item ships. We will follow up via e-mail confirming that your order has been shipped and provide tracking information from FedEx or US Postal Service.

Will I be charged sales tax?
